9 years ago Hi,
Your issue is really weird because the PortAL window is created to be invisible without height or width. https://github.com/obsidev/guipro/blob/master/PortAL/main.cpp#L80 I'll see to add some code in order to force the hidden state of the main window ; but if the size is not respected ; it should be related to something else in your system.
About the icon ; there is no such icon kind in PortAL, there is only one single icon : https://github.com/obsidev/guipro/blob/master/PortAL/usb.minimal.png So I can't explain that part.
If you can provide a screenshot of that tiny window it could help. Which OS are you currently using ?

J, Every now and then, I get this little window on my screen - it's about the same size and shape as a vertically-oriented medicine capsule and you can see the letter "P" in the title bar.
This picture is just to give you a rough idea of the shape - the actual window is, of course, a lot smaller!
I know for sure that it belongs to PortAL because when I minimize it (with HuLK), the window title "Portal" becomes visible - it has no minimize / close / maximize buttons and is very small - just large enough to see the window title. If I close it with alt + F4, the PortAL icon(s) disappear from my system tray and I am no longer able to bring PortAL up - I have to go into Task Manager and kill PortAL and restart it.
Unfortunately, I have no idea why it happens or how to make it happen. It happens maybe once every month or so and is just a little nuisance - nothing serious. Still, it may be an indication of something funny happening behind the scenes that you may want to address. If it happens again, I'll send you some screenshots.
